Would this tank work for a turtle

If you have to ask this question, you shouldn't be getting and turtle!Turtles require special lighting, powerful filtration, proper heating, and a low tank of no less then 60gl if you want your turtle to thrive.

I looked into purchasing a turtle and all I read on that research led me to believe not to use this one for a turtle.

no prob I have a 30 gallon long & 3 red ears the need filtering & heat light & enough space to put a rock to climb on to bask good luck

No, it's too big for a 10 gallon tank. You have to upgrade to at least a 20 gallon tank. But it's worth it. My turtle loves his new habitat.

it should but just barley you might have to rig the pipe a little to get more depth...also pending on size a ten gallon tank is suitable for only 1 turtle. just in case I would get the next size up for the filter.

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

I dont believe so. Perfect for my leopard gecko or another lizard. A 50+ gallon long would seem better for a 4ft snake

I would say no, the hood only works with regular style bulbs (coil type, old school incandescent) there is not a lot of room in the socket area. I have 2 of these on each of my turtle tanks both with a zoo med uvb coil type bulb and a 60 watt incandescent for heat and it works great.

I would personally try it out. My only concern would be it getting into the filter itself because the lid doesn't latch but that would be the most minor nuisance. You certainly wouldn't go through filter media as quickly as with a turtle! I woulld say go for it, just keep an eye out to make sure they aren't showing any signs of distress or aggitation. It should be fine.

No unless you hate your turtles and just want a turtle prison this tank is :(

I use mine in a 70 gallon turtle tank with a turtle box on top. You should be good, but you will probably have to get some aquarium silicone and silicone the intake parts together. Otherwise your turtle is going to claw at it and pull them apart.

Absolutely it can, it has a safety on it so the snake could get out. It has plenty of room and I would choose this tank for most reptiles and other small animals.

Yes. It should work for your adult turtle. Mine is about 10 yrs old and it works beautifully. The canister that holds the pellets is fairly small but you should get at least 1 week of feedings without having to refill it. Example: I went on vacation and was gone 5 days. Came back home and my turtle still had plenty of pellets left to probably last another 4-5 days. And this was feeding him twice a day. I love this feeder! It runs on AA batteries and even when it gives you the "low battery" status, you still have 3 days worth of feedings before the batteries run out. Hope this helps you with your decision! Yes.

The lamp is a fine size for pretty much any size tank but it would depend of the power of the bulb you have in it and what you are keeping in the tank. For a 10g turtle tank I would suggest a lower strength bulb maybe like 25-40w.

The lamp should be positioned over the turtle's dry basking area, not over the water, so it is suitable for any size tank.

Yes. I use it for 4 aquatic turtles when I travel. It comes with a mounting bracket that can attach to the side of the aquarium. The only down side is it can be a little tough to setup the feeder to dispense an exact amount each time, but overall it is pretty good for the price.

Depending on the size of your tank, that shouldn't be a problem. When I first got this one, I kept my original filter in with this one and it was probably the cleanest I've ever seen my tank. My tank is a smaller tank (10G) and they still had plenty of room to swim... I have two 3.5 inch turtles.

Of course it will help, but understand that this is designed for fishkeeping. Turtles produce a huge amount of waste in comparison, so it would require additional action such as solids removal on a regular basis and water changes. This is going to be the case, no matter which filter you use though. I don't know the sizes of the turtles you are keeping, but I would tend to think that something much larger, like a swimming pool filter would be more appropriate. I'm no expert, but we kept turtles as kids, and used a large (400gallon) pond with a pool filter and bio bog filtration setup. That worked great for us, but we also had multiple turtles of varying size. Hope this helps. Of course it will help, but understand that this is designed for fishkeeping.

Yes It Will, But It Is Little But Big For Such A Small Tank. I Have A 100Gal Tank I Use It In And It Works Great For It.
